Beneath a Dying Sun Lyrics

Rays from a dying sun

Illuminate a clash begun for right

The right to seek eternal light

Keepers guard the Eastern Way

Apostate's doom in empty eyes

Viscera draped, charred, and cruciate

Warn of death beyond the bolstered gates

The summoning brings forth the horde

Rouses the warbeasts from their sleep

Drawn by the hunger of enslaved souls

To be released

Behold the righteous path, the blood of martyrs past

And all will rise to touch the sky

Forsake the fallen ones, their paeans left unsung

Their glory lies within the afterlife

Behold the righteous path, carnage in the aftermath

And all apprise the sacrifice

The stench of battles won, warmed by the titian sun

Til one remains and sacred land is reclaimed

Beneath a dying sun

A fault in time obscures those lain in wait

A mystic ruse to transcend the might of Western savagery

Across the pass, the blade extends

Forged by the flames that now pour forth

To cleanse the flesh and free the soul

A merciless means to glory's end

As was foretold

Behold the righteous path, the blood of martyrs past

And all will rise to touch the sky

Forsake the fallen ones, their paeans left unsung

Their glory lies within the afterlife

Behold the righteous path, carnage in the aftermath

And all apprise the sacrifice

The stench of battles won, warmed by the titian sun

Til one remains and sacred land is reclaimed

Beneath a dying sun

One final gasp

As night turns into day

The embers burn as the choking wind feeds the flames

Upon the ashes they dance

Upon the remnants they feast

"The last to stand," the elders chant, "shall endure Elysian peace!"

The prophecy had come to pass

Yet the Last to Stand remain

A plague of doubt and ravaged faith

Alone beneath a dying sun
